I've read the first five chapters of your story, and I am really enjoying it. I see that it isn't marked as complete yet. I hope that when I get to the last chapter that it isn't going to be a cliff hanger.

I for one would love to see this continued! It's really really good so far and I can't wait to see where it goes next. That it's about Q makes me give it a 10 and the Picard/Q brings it up to 11-well, and it's just a really well fleshed out story with interesting characters..So anyway, that's my vote for you to continue it!

ive been following this story for a while now and only just reached this chapter. im glad you've found the time to upload some more and would love to see even more in the future.

ive learnt that people who write Q tend to do it either very well or atrociously and im glad that this falls into the former category, a convincing Q is a delight that is sometimes difficult to find so keep up the good work there :)

I've been reading fanfics for over 10 years now and this is one of a few I have ever left feedback for. Q/P has always been one of my favourite pairings and this story so far would have to be ranked as one of the best I've ever read.

I didn't notice that you'd incorporated these; good, it works a lot better if you don't have to make reference to a different fic. Aside from it being kind of unclear who Ahriman is (which we figure out pretty quickly, but you've lost his physical description), I think the changes work well - especially making it all on Shien that Q got handed over to the Tatarians (it never exactly made sense that Shien would obey the choice of a guy he *knew* was totally screwed in the head, and it made it look as if his captivity by the Tatarians was somehow Q's own fault).

The Picard/Q relationship is really interesting here - still fighting with each other, still prickly and defensive in front of each other, but acknowledging and acting on the sexual tension - that isn't something we see in P/Q fics very often. I appreciate that.

I was thinking, if you want this to be a stand alone, you may actually have to incorporate the first three and a half chapters of OKAM, or at least parts thereof; if all anyone has read is LCD, they won't know how Shien et al kidnapped Q, or about the Tatarians, or any of that. Since OKAM's basically dead, you could take it and roll it into this (might be difficult since it would be even further back flashbacks, but since it doesn't come to a resolution itself, it can't really do anything but be backstory for LCD now.)
